EOSC-Pillar

The EOSC Pillar project is based on the concept of “open science” and FAIR data services and practices to promote them in all communities that use oceanographic data. These initiatives also aim to share best practices and to create opportunities for interdisciplinary approaches within the EOSC.

The kick-off meeting that took place in early July 2019 officially launched the project which will continue over the next 3 years.

IFREMER and the CNRS are more particularly involved in several Workpackages (WP), which the IR/RI DATA TERRA coordinates as a whole.

• WP6: EOSC in action: Use cases and community-driven pilots.
  This WP is based on a bottom-up approach based on concrete cases of data use. Each “demonstrator” use case will analyze different tools and services for Data Fairization and the type of governance based on the needs of the user community.

• WP7: The Infrastructure layer: delivering horizontal data storage and computing services, from national to transnational.
  This WP brings together technical guidelines and procedures for the integration of national services to contribute to the compatibility and interoperability of existing horizontal services between national and thematic infrastructures.
